At CVS Health®, you'll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do. Join us and be part of something bigger – helping to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time. Health100 is recruiting for a VP, Digital Engineering to lead cross-functional engineering capabilities for the Health100 platform, spanning digital identity and account management, payments, solutions engineering, and AI solutions. This is a highly technical and strategic leadership role where this leader will not only manage the teams delivering new features and capabilities but also guide architectural direction and digital best practices to future-proof the platform. The ideal candidate operates as a true partner to Product — co-owning the roadmap and capability definition in addition to executing against it. This leader brings a builder's instinct for moving fast, cutting through ambiguity, and shipping solutions. We're looking for someone who can bring a startup-caliber sense of urgency and ownership to an enterprise-scale platform, positioning Health100 as an industry-leading consumer health experience. You will make an impact by: Partnering directly with Product leadership to define and shape the Health100 roadmap and capability set — not just receiving requirements, but co-driving what gets built, in what sequence, and why. Leading a portfolio of cross-cutting engineering capabilities that underpin the Health100 member experience, including digital account and profile management, digital payments, solutions engineering, and AI solutions. Owning engineering for digital account and profile capabilities — registration, authentication, identity verification, profile and preference management, and consent/privacy controls (including CCPA/CPRA opt-out flows across authenticated and unauthenticated users) — ensuring a secure, unified member identity experience. Owning digital payments engineering across Health100, including premium and copay payment flows, HSA/FSA integration, and third-party payment processor and billing system integrations, with a strong focus on PCI-DSS compliance and transaction reliability. Leading the Solutions Engineering function: translating product and business requirements into technical designs, cross-team integration patterns, and reusable frameworks/accelerators that let feature teams ship consistently and quickly across Health100.Leading AI Solutions engineering for Health100 — building and scaling Generative AI and agentic capabilities (conversational assistants, intelligent workflow automation) designed to be incremental and invisible in the member experience rather than disruptive. Owning production reliability and operability across the portfolio — defining SLOs/SLAs, leading incident response and on-call practices, and ensuring performance and resiliency against enterprise uptime targets across identity, payment, and AI transaction volumes. Driving a bias toward action: favoring rapid iteration, lean process, and pragmatic build/buy decisions over lengthy planning cycles, while still meeting the rigor a regulated healthcare environment demands. Working closely with other engineering leaders across CVS Health's vertically integrated ecosystem (Caremark, Aetna, CVS Specialty) to ensure Health100 capabilities integrate cleanly with adjacent platforms over time. Managing and supporting a large team of engineering resources, building a culture of ownership, urgency, and product-based delivery, and helping tenured resources transition to new delivery methodologies. Tracking and adhering to financial, operational, and other OKRs/goals within and across the organization. .
